The fan getting pulled out on the field to celebrate the victory with the entire team was such a good way to encourage and reward the fan participation.
That fan is gonna be in a bar in a few years telling everyone he has 3 saves for the savanah bananas by himself not even on the payroll but in the stat book forever!
It is a show. Not necessarily scripted, but a lot of uniquely talented ball players and some imaginative rules that add some zest to the game. A fun approach to bring non-fans or casual fans to the game of baseball. Very similar to what the Harlem Globetrotters did for basketball.
It’s kind of impossible to script a baseball game, which partially makes them even more impressive performers. You have no idea if a pitch is going to be wrong, if someone drops a catch, someone accidentally hits a home run, etc. If you’re doing this type of baseball show, you need to be prepared to react to *anything* that could happen
Banana Ball is significantly different from baseball though, and many of the trick plays require significant skill. Not that the Globetrotters weren't skilled, they definitely were, but Banana Ball is a legitimate competition, not just exhibition games. Globetrotters were like 90% show, Banana Ball is more like 50/50.
I saw a Bananas game for the 1st time lady year & I expected something like a Harlem Globe Trotters exhibition. I found this FAR more worthwhile! For just one difference , the Bananas don’t always win, making for a more involving competition! 2. The rules are sometimes ridiculous (“Rock, paper, scissors” for instance), but some are legitimately good ideas (a foul ball caught by a fan counts as an out)! An altogether FUN experience. I received a special Bananas gift pack - a shirt, a sticker, & a coozie - for Christmas because of my avid support for what the Bananas are promoting. Great job, Savannah & if y’all haven’t witnessed a game of theirs, don’t hesitate to go. It’s FUN! 👍
No it's validated I grew up at Grayson stadium, when it was the cardinals. This is a different thing and yes a show but I would encourage even a baseball fan to attend. The history in that stadium is unreal. Babe Ruth played in it, it was a professional park in old times and is a museum for the great pasttime
I would love very much to be on the Bananas. They are having the time of their lives and playing baseball!!! But for now I am waiting for them to come to Las Vegas.
Where in the world did the money for this sport come from? Ive never heard of banana ball and its already a whole spectacle. Harlem globetrotters of baseball?
@@OrionOfTheVioletFlame Yuh, I'm sure MLB is shaking in its boots. This is just the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. The NBA is doing just fine even though the Globetrotters have existed for how long?
I have a different view on the bananas. I get people love them and they are popular and fun, I get that. Problem is that this will make "real" baseball unappealing to younger fans and baseball will be in trouble
@@lenny6676 Wow! If you’d be so kind, can I please have the address and number to your dentist? Because if your dental visits are as fun and entertaining as a ‘Naner’s game then your dentist must be the messiah of the dental industry!
Many things are practiced, planned for, but the results are in good fun, I’m not sure how scoring and winning works, but these games still are random as far as who’s going to win.
Of course they are athletes; they demonstrate a much higher level of athleticism than seen in standard baseball, or maybe it’s just that we don’t fall asleep being bored to death.
I get it that you don’t like it. And that’s fine, you don’t have to like it. But in your prejudice, don’t make the mistake of discrediting these players athleticism. A little logic will tell you that these guys need to have a high level of athleticism in order to pull off their hijinks. Yea, there’s some dancing and “yukking it up” going on, but throw someone in the mix with a low level of athleticism in there and I guarantee you they wouldn’t be able to pull it off.

This is better than the globetrotters by FAR

@@rars0n yeah because in the globetrotters games the globetrotters always win but in banana ball any team can win

Not “lady year”’ LAST year ( my bad)!😊
This seems more like a paid actor than a TH-camr commenting lol.

Just fun and the new Globe Trotters. Glad they are having fun while making alot of people happy.
This is so wholesome...
This is the greatest experience I have ever had with my family. I wish I lived close to see more games kinda wish they were on tv.
Went last week in Phoenix. Epic. I expected a lot, and I was blown out of my seat.
Hunter Pence and Johnny Damon!!
That announcer!!
😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
I’m hooked!!
I would love very much to be on the Bananas. They are having the time of their lives and playing baseball!!! But for now I am waiting for them to come to Las Vegas.
Calvin Ball is real
The entire team is amazing!! Can’t wait to see them in action this year!!! 🎉
Announcers give it a “Major League” movie vibe. Really enjoyable for a game I hate.
Just found out this is a thing, AMAZING
Been around since the 80s St Paul Saints started the trend
Wow just amazing talent and athletic skills
Got my jersey yesterday! So glad to being supporting such an amazing group of people! GO BANANAS!
I came here thinking it was the vp debate. Not disappointed at all.
this is the better version of baseball- it’s not as boring and so fun to watch
I was waiting for MPI to creep down but was shocked it went under 1 minute. I was watching it live and was so surprised. All the clips were GREAT.
That dude didn't just catch a foul ball, he won the game!
It’s like MLB x Magic Mike x Ru Paul’s Drag Race x Glee.
Stilts should be number one! But I do love that kid at the end! ...too bad they couldn't put him on their shoulders 🫠
The WWE of Baseball I love it these are really fun to watch
My fav is "Danny, do it all." He is amazing and soooo cute.
OMG! Johnny Damon!! That's fabulous.
The Grandkids will love this!
面白いね‼️楽しい‼️
This game is perfect for Hunter Pence.
They managed to play a little baseball in there too...
as an arlington native i love love loveddd seeing hunter pence in a bananas uni😭
Harlem globetrotters of baseball
Top 10....AWESOME!!!!!! The stilts get me every time!!!
man i don’t care for baseball. but im going to a banana game hell or high water. this should be way bigger. just a fun time
Gold man i need this in my life i cant watch the mlb but this all day lol
3😊
Awesome! 👏👍😎❤️
As it should be! ;-P
Duuuude, #7: how can you count a trick play if it messes up the the double play. The dude was safe at first 😂
I think you’re missing the point of the team you’re watching…
oh its Harlem Globetrotters but baseball
Stilts deserved #1
Ok but all seriousness. Can they play the Strawberries 🍓
💛
Where in the world did the money for this sport come from? Ive never heard of banana ball and its already a whole spectacle. Harlem globetrotters of baseball?
A fun idea + having a solid professional network + being really really good at promoting themselves on social media = success
Are they like this in the video game?
Hi
Move over MLB. Banana Ball is here. And I'm here for Banana Ball. New favorite sport. I hope to someday play Banana Ball professionally.
@@OrionOfTheVioletFlame Yuh, I'm sure MLB is shaking in its boots. This is just the Harlem Globetrotters of baseball. The NBA is doing just fine even though the Globetrotters have existed for how long?
아 진짜 직관 마렵다
This is amazing!
i can’t see it. talent yea ok. but entertainment?
this is so wack
I have a different view on the bananas. I get people love them and they are popular and fun, I get that. Problem is that this will make "real" baseball unappealing to younger fans and baseball will be in trouble
😂 That’s like blaming a kids cereal for adults not eating a proper breakfast 🤦🏼♂️
@alexvalcarcel9590 terrible analogy
Sooooooong??
INSTANT FAN
Who else is here because of their experience on Raw? 😂
The movie Idiocracy has become reality…
@@Nuverotic
Baseketball. 😂
The Harlem Globetrotters of baseball?
I can't believe this is actually selling out everywhere. Looks about as good as going to the dentist
@@lenny6676 Wow! If you’d be so kind, can I please have the address and number to your dentist? Because if your dental visits are as fun and entertaining as a ‘Naner’s game then your dentist must be the messiah of the dental industry!
Shhhhhhhh. ❤
Not a fan of this nonsense, at all. It’s goofy / cheesy / annoying / over the top garbage. Not baseball. All the dancing and choreography. Cringe
what a waste of baseball
Is is scripted?
No, they play what's called banana ball, completely different rules than regular baseball
Many things are practiced, planned for, but the results are in good fun, I’m not sure how scoring and winning works, but these games still are random as far as who’s going to win.
@@anthonylombardo1261 they tell the rules and how points are acurred each inning
The rules are on their website. I'm gonna have to bring the rules with me just to follow what's going on haha
What a mockery of baseball. I bet these dudes call themselves athletes lol
Of course they are athletes; they demonstrate a much higher level of athleticism than seen in standard baseball, or maybe it’s just that we don’t fall asleep being bored to death.
Go yell at a cloud old man. Most of them are former or current baseball players
@@barbaratyler2183 not sure where you see the athleticism. I can assure you dancing is not more athletic than the actual game of baseball.
@@AURush95 yeah old in my twenties lol keep playing your video games and calling it esports so you can call yourself an athlete lmao

No thank you. Not a fan.
So why are you watching video? I’m a big fan.
Just found out about this today❤️ I am now a fan🦾🇺🇸😁
No, thanks
I love this team🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
